Your quilt is beautiful and I agree with the comments that say to use the flower border, just make the leaves and flowers a little larger. I often put flowers in my borders. I feel like it tops everything off kind of like putting the icing on the cake.
Can't wait to see your finish. Awesome!! |
I think it is great just as it is. The only other border I could suggest is one that would frame the beautiful center of the quilt with applique floral as a cornerstone accent
|
What would it look like to do a solid border and let the quilting design there compliment your beautiful blocks. Maybe a vine with leaves such as are in the blocks. Or feathers are very popular.
|
It looks great. How about repeating the red and whit border after the flowers to frame the whole thing
|
Looks like a winner to me, to busy of a boarder would distract from the beautiful quilt blocks.

Awesome job! I really wanted to be able to applique, but I just don't have the patience for it.

Looks beautiful to me also.....I like Quilt nNan's idea of flipping it so the heavy ends are not together!

Beautiful quilt blocks. The floral border as is seems weak to me. The dark triangle inner border and sashing is very stark in contrast to the background so you need a border to compete with that for it to look balanced. I would use strong colors for the appliqued flowers and leaves. I would try the sashing color for the leaves and rich colors for the flowers in the applique border.

Of course this is just my personal take on this and at the end it is your quilt, your efforts, and you are the owner who will be admiring it every day, but there is something about the border that is distracting me from the blocks. I can't really pinpoint but i guess i am seeing a wall of the prairie points that is separating the blocks from the border (clear as mud?)lol Hope i made some sense to you and well done on a beautiful work |
